"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 119
"The enemy has retreated!"
"The enemy has retreated!"
?The black smoke of Qingyang Fu City shot straight into the sky. Amid the cheers of Qinghe Army soldiers, the imperial guards who attacked the city receded like a tide.
"Huh¡ªI'm exhausted."
General Liu Yidao leaned on the blood-stained city wall, looked at the imperial guards retreating, panting heavily, his face full of tiredness.
Liu Yidao is a member of the Ranger Battalion, with seven or eight thousand rangers under his command, and the vast wilderness is the battlefield for them to gallop.
But now they are under heavy siege in Qingyang Mansion, because of lack of food, the war horses have been ordered to be killed for army rations.
Facing wave after wave of fierce attacks by the Imperial Guards, these Rangers also had to climb up the city wall and fight bloody battles with the Imperial Guards who were besieging the city.
The imperial guards of the dynasty belonged to the crayon heads of silver guns, which were not useful, and were known as elites, but in fact their combat effectiveness was extremely weak.
The imperial guards were defeated in several confrontations with the Qinghe uprising army, and the fourth prince was also furious.
Although the combat effectiveness of this imperial guard army is not very good, they have more than 60,000 people, and they are also an armed force that cannot be ignored.
Although the fourth prince hated iron for being weak, he knew very well in his heart that tens of thousands of black cavalry troops and 60,000 imperial guards were the only troops he could control now.
If he wants to seize the throne from his prince brother and become a great treasure, these imperial guards and black cavalry will be his strength.
? In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guard Army, the Fourth Prince issued an order to fight in rounds, so that each battalion of the Imperial Guard Army will attack the city in turn, so as to achieve the purpose of training instead of training.
He didn't expect these imperial guards to really capture Qingyang Mansion. He needed the Qinghe uprising army in the city to act as a sharpening stone to hone this imperial guard army.
The battlefield is the best training ground. Although training in battle will cause huge casualties, the fourth prince has no other choice. Compassion does not command soldiers. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards in a short time, he can only do this .
As long as the 60,000 imperial guards can survive 30,000 people on the battlefield, they will become a powerful force for themselves after going through bloody battles.
Liu Yidao and the others didn't pay attention to these weak Imperial Guards at all, because the attack of the Imperial Guards was nothing more than giving away their heads.
However, as time went by, they found that the situation was changing, and the strength of the weak Imperial Guard was rapidly increasing.
When the Imperial Guards first attacked the city, they would often frighten the Imperial Guards to retreat after a shower of arrows.
After each battle, the corpses of the Imperial Guard soldiers had filled the trenches outside the city, and the moat was stained red with blood.
At the cost of huge casualties, the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards is also increasing day by day. Now let alone a rain of arrows, soldiers of the imperial guards even rushed up the city wall to fight with the Qinghe army.
Most of the soldiers of the Imperial Guard are collateral descendants of princes and nobles and collateral descendants of wealthy families in Gyeonggi province.
?They were unable to inherit family property and official positions due to their backgrounds and other reasons, so they could only hang out in the Imperial Guards. The high treatment and status of the Imperial Guards made them live comfortably.
But now they have no choice, either break Qingyang Mansion and make contributions, or be killed by those vicious supervising teams as deserters and become food for wild dogs.
Under the strong pressure, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who had no choice also broke out their powerful fighting power and began to desperately fight in order to survive.
The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards is improving, and many ambitious soldiers of the Imperial Guards also want to take the opportunity to make contributions, so they are going all out and fighting desperately.
Under such circumstances, the pressure on the Qinghe army defending the city was also increasing, and the casualties also rose sharply.
"Damn it, these dynastic bastards are as if they have been injected with chicken blood, they are going to die."
Many soldiers of the Qinghe Army who were tired and panting were covered in blood. They killed the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who climbed up the city wall, but they still had lingering fears in the face of the opponent's desperate fight.
"How about the casualties, brothers? Report the number!"
Liu Yidao carried a bleeding saber, stepped on the sticky blood, and patrolled his section of the city wall, asking about the casualties.
"My lord, there are still fifty brothers in our centurion."
"We still have eighty brothers."
"We have forty heads left."
Negative?The Qinghe army guarding the city wall also suffered heavy casualties, so that the walls were covered with corpses from both sides.
"The 3,000th team, the 4,000th team switch defenses!"
Seeing these wounded soldiers, General Liu Yidao was also bleeding from his heart.
These are elite ranger battalion soldiers. Now that there are no horses, many people can only die on the city wall in such a useless manner.
Following Liu Yidao's order, the scarred soldiers began to carry the wounded to withdraw from the city wall, and teams of soldiers who switched defenses began to clean up the broken city wall, gathered arrows,
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
When the soldiers of the Qinghe Army on the city wall were changing their defenses, there was another thunderous sound of war drums in the distance.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
About a battalion of 5,000 imperial guards came over again shouting, and the shouts of killing soared into the sky.
"Damn, it's not over yet."
They had just repelled the attack of the Imperial Guards, but they did not expect that the next wave of Imperial Guards would launch a new round of attacks.
Although he was cursing, Liu Yidao knew very well that they had no choice but to fight.
"Everyone on your marks!"
Liu Yidao was yelling at the top of his voice, and the city wall was in a hurry. The soldiers of the Qinghe Army who came up quickly rushed to their own part of the city wall amidst the shouts of the officers.
The fighting soon started again, and the imperial guards, under the pressure of the supervising team, rushed towards the city wall desperately one by one.
?The Qinghe army guarding Qingyang Mansion also fought to the death, roaring arrows flew across, thunder, stones and trees rolled down, amidst the clamor of killing, the fresh life continued to disappear, turning into bloody corpses.
Facing the tide of Imperial Guard soldiers, Liu Yidao and the others were completely exhausted from the bloody fight.
The reckless Imperial Guard once rushed up the city wall, and Liu Yidao was like a firefighter, leading his own soldiers around, constantly stabilizing the crumbling defense line.
Seeing the soldiers of the Imperial Guard on the ladder being smashed down one after another, and the horrific howls one after another, the faces of the soldiers of the supervisory team also twitched.
Qingyang Mansion is like a black hole, constantly devouring the soldiers of the Imperial Guards. In just two days, they have already killed more than 10,000 people.
But without the order of the fourth prince, no one dared to retreat lightly, so they could only bite the bullet and attack wave after wave.
The Qinghe army in the city would send cavalry out of the city to fight back at the beginning, but after the horses were beheaded and turned into army rations, they basically gave up fighting back.
Because they sent a team of infantry out of the city to fight back the day before yesterday, but the black cavalry light cavalry wandering not far away seized the opportunity and almost broke the city. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
